This is the fourth time in nearly 20 years that my family has used Shaughnessey-Banks funeral…read moreservices; my Dad, my brother, my Mom and, now, my 26-year-old son. In that span of time, changes at the funeral home have been inevitable, but one thing that remains constant is how the staff delivers a professional, compassionate and unsurpassed level of service meant for royalty. Pam, Becky, Terese, and the rest of the staff attend to every detail and never fail to treat me like family. During my last ordeal, they wrapped around me with comfort and, in turn, made a devastating situation of the short-lived life of my son bearable. In fact, just knowing my son would initially arrive from out of state into Becky's blessed hands helped me in the earliest moments of our trauma. To this day, what also brings me great comfort is remembering how angelic and peaceful my son looked in an expertly and lovingly staged backdrop. I will always highly recommend this funeral home.

Following my mother's recent passing, we once again turned to John Zaleski and his wonderful staff. My mother had passed away at home, and from the moment John and his colleague arrived to receive her, they were incredibly caring and sympathetic, giving us immediate peace of mind. During the arrangement process, John was knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and made us feel comfortable right away. He also created a wonderful video of family photos for the wake, which gave our friends and family a sweet visit to the past. I want to extend a huge thank you to John, Millie, and staff, and to Sue for her exceptional attention to detail. The funeral home itself has such a warm and peaceful energy, and there is always someone available to answer questions or provide assistance. From the planing to the burial, the entire staff provided the utmost care for our family. I would highly recommend Wakelee Memorial. They provide the caring assistance needed during such a difficult time.

I can't say enough good things about my experience with the Flynn Funeral home…read more I came from out of state when I heard my uncle was sick and his death was unexpected. After all the ugliness of my uncles illness and feeling like I was thrown to the wolves at the hospital, to say that I was overwhelmed with the events that took place over the past few weeks would be an understatement. My thoughts were scattered and I was emotionally numb. I called Flynn funeral home at a most unorthodox hour and was stunned when Tommy Flynn answered the phone. Stunned. He was kind and patient and addressed my fumbling, babbling questions and requests and made me feel understood and most of all, like I was not sounding slightly insane. It turns out that Tommy has an excellent working relationship with the hospital where my uncle died and was able to expedite the process of having my uncle cremated remains and even the death certificates available in less than 72 hours. Tommy was more than professional and respectful, he was humble and so kind. So kind. I can't emphasize that enough. He didn't try to upsell me and he explained everything very well. I am so thankful for receiving the best service for my uncle and also for meeting Tommy. Goodness knows the number of broken hearts he must have seen over the years yet he was still so gentle. It meant the world to me.

To…read moresay a funeral was beautiful seems a little morbid and inappropriate. but, that's exactly how I can describe my father's wake at Jacobson funeral home in Huntington. They went above and beyond in every little detail From the minute we walked in and met with them. They were comforting, professional, and absolutely amazing. even the little small touch with them standing at the door as we exited for the funeral progression to the cemetery- they offered a plaque for each car that said funeral and travel tissue packages. I've never seen that done before at a funeral. they truly care about the deceased and the family! Even if you do not live in the immediate area, I would highly recommend considering Jacobson funeral home. With love the family of Robert Peckham

Chris and his team could not have been more thoughtful, caring or sensitively attuned to what was…read moreneeded during the entire process of my mother-in-law's passing and funeral. Chris is likely to have attended to thousands of funerals, but there was no sense that this was 'same-old, same-old' with him. He was so in tune with where the family was emotionally, and was able to adjust accordingly. He was such a calming, helpful presence throughout. He has the wisdom of knowing that people's faculties are compromised at a time like this and guided us gently through each part of the process at just the right time, never invasive, checking in on what might be needed and offering just the right amount of guidance and preparation. Likewise, every inch of the funeral home and their chapels have been designed to make you feel the warmth, serenity and dignity you would wish for at such a time: The decor is elegant but homey; the background music is peaceful and settling; the fish pond and fountain in the reception area adds a natural, calming element, and of course, there's Jake. Jake (Chris's shadow) is a young, highly trained labradoodle who is the resident support dog, gently walking around, offering himself to anyone he senses may need him. He is a special soul and he loves his work. I don't think the process could have gone more smoothly. The chapel was beautifully set up and my mother-in-law looked so naturally elegant and peaceful at her wake in the chapel. They did an incredible job. They created a beautiful digital slideshow from all our photos and set up our photo boards and flowers magnificently. After the service, they packed up everything from the chapel and stored it for us carefully until we could collect it at our convenience. Nothing seemed too much for them as long as they could help make this process as easy and meaningful as possible for us. One final aspect worth mentioning: The funeral home allowed us to arrange a lot upfront, before my mother-in-law passed, which similar business services do not always allow. Once someone has passed, emotions are so high that it's really hard to concentrate on small details, which is required to plan accordingly. Being able to plan this all upfront was incredibly helpful.
